The New International Greek Testament Commentary: The Gospel of Matthew 1. The Parable of the Treasure Hidden in the Field (13:44)

This is the first of three final parables in the section, addressed only to the disciples.

two parables have the same five elements in the same order: (1) the reference to something very valuable (the treasure; the pearl); (2) finding it (εὑρών); (3) going; (4) selling everything the person has (πάντα ὅσα ἔχει/εἶχεν); and (5) buying it (in the first parable, the field). Donald A. Hagner, Matthew 1–13, vol. 33A, Word Biblical Commentary (Dallas: Word, Incorporated, 1998), 396.The brief fifth and sixth parables have as their focus the glorious character of the kingdom brought by Jesus, which justifies the cost of absolute discipleship. Donald A. Hagner, Matthew 1–13, vol. 33A, Word Biblical Commentary (Dallas: Word, Incorporated, 1998), 396.This is the first of three final parables in the section, addressed only to the disciples. The parable brings together notions of good fortune and demanding action in attaining the kingdom of heaven. Nolland John, “Preface,” in The Gospel of Matthew: A Commentary on the Greek Text, New International Greek Testament Commentary (Grand Rapids, MI; Carlisle: W.B. Eerdmans; Paternoster Press, 2005), 563.
